My thoughts are with you at this time. Joanne trained me at the Legion and her one best point she taught me was "What goes on behind the bar stays behind the bar" We have great times and tons of laughs. Joanne you will be missed by many

Brian we are sorry to hear of the passing of Joanne. We are sitting here reminiscing about the good old days (remember the great parties). It is hard to except the loss of a loved one but our memories of them are with us for ever. Her smile has never changed.
